Hi John. All your e-mails are a "must read" in my book. You are an
inspiration to all Kolbers and I admire your courage to take to the air on
all the trips across the North America continent. I did my first cross
country trip yesterday and although it was only one hour long it is a start.
Hope to get my license this summer before my 80th birthday. All the best,

Not wishing to hijack the thread, or sound like a know-it-all, but I have had very
good results by pulling off the air cleaner and working the throttle lever
until the top of the cut out in the back of the slide is even with the top of
the carburetor throttle bore. This is typically at around 90 - 95% throttle.
If they are not identically aligned, turn the adjustment barrel at the top of the
carb until they are. If the top surface edge of both slide cut outs are exactly
aligned with their respective bores, then you will have EGT readings that
are real close. Maybe not as perfect as using the manometer, but real close.
It is also extremely easy to see and do. And I like that.

Jeff, Somewhere in the archives is a post by me about how to make and use a
manometer. You can find it by doing a search of my posts.
You are right about the throttle slide going past full open, but it doesn't
really matter. When you have your airplane staked down for setting the
carbs run the engine up to full throttle by the tach, not the throttle
position, hit the kill switches on the mags, and once the engine has
stopped pull the aircleaners. The throttle slide will be about 1/4" BELOW
the top of the carb bore. This is why it's important to use a manometer to
balance the carbs. All of your flying is done with the throttle slide less
than fully open so they need to be exact in their sychronization.
If your throttle linkage allows you to pull the slide to top of the bore I
suggest you put a stop on your linkage to prevent it from opening further
than the top of the carb bore. Pulling them further to the top of the slide
bore only puts a strain on the throttle cables and can cause cable failure,
which will make for a stressful day. As I recall Rotax has a service
bulletin or instruction about this.

Hi John. All your e-mails are a "must read" in my book. You are an
inspiration to all Kolbers and I admire your courage to take to the air on
all the trips across the North America continent. I did my first cross
country trip yesterday and although it was only one hour long it is a start.
Hope to get my license this summer before my 80th birthday. All the best,
Clyde MacQuarrie.
Clyde M/Kolbers:
Congratulations on your flight training. Best of luck to you and your
aviation adventures.
When people your age get off their butt and take flying lessons, makes me
feel like a "spring chicken".
